When should I start to worry about my non-feeders?

And will it do any good to worry about the non-feeders?

Most of my snakes are feeding, but I have few hold outs, and it's practically summer.....so should I start to worry?

I've got an 02 normal female that fed last on 1-31-03. I'm not sure exactly how much weight she has lost, approx 40 grams from almost 300 grams to 250 grams.

I have a LTC female that I purchased in Febuary of 03, she has never fed for me. She has lost approx 60 grams from 1830 grams down to 1770 grams.

I have two tiny 03 babies I purchased last week. I purchased them as "Feeding" but I suspect they have never fed. They were in shed when I recieved them last Saturday and weigh 61 grams and the other is 72 grams. Little guys. I've left them overnight with mouse fuzzies and with rat pinks....no feeding yet.

When should I start to worry? What should I do when I do start to worry?

Thanks!
